Biography

Overflowing with the kind of uplifting melodies that glide over your ears and into the smiley part of your brain, Astro’s debut recording is testament to the power of a beautifully written pop song: a power that tickles you from the base of your spine to the fuzzy hairs on the back of your neck, burrowing itself in forever.

Draped in this elegant simplicity, the music of Astro is as fit for a daydream as their name - armed with the power and imagination of songs that explore both fantasy and reality – pushed high into the ether with the unmistakable familiarity of a soaring human voice. Songs that are written to service the good of the song, not the ego of its writers. Songs you’re already singing along with by the second chorus of the first listen.

Songs that have a touch of magic to them.

Driven and agile, Astro have worked hard and smart alike. From a home-base on the coast of Western Australia, the band have looked outwards at a bigger world. From scoring an NBC Universal song pitch, to finding themselves in the finals of the International Song Competition; Astro’s ambitions overseas are already proving to be worth the sweat.

Earning a Musicoz Award nomination as well as topping both MySpace’s Unsigned chart and triple j’s Unearthed chart; the tell-tale signs of Astro’s potential are mounting and becoming ever more clear. Their fan-base is growing and the band are uncovering an almost limitless commercial potential within their music.

And Astro feel like they should be on the radio, or etched into the soundtrack of a sweeping cinematic ending, because their music feels suitably grand. So from the shore of the Indian Ocean, Astro are looking towards an endless horizon, ready to share their music with the world and ready to make their mark upon it.

This is Astro’s first step, and they are taking it boldly. Head First.

Lyrics

Gather Your Hands

Gather your hands and put them togetherShow the rest of the world that you can make noiseStomp your feet and make that beat louderShow the rest of the world that you can be in time

Wherever you are distractions remainInside and out holding you back againGather your hands for the start of something

All around us at onceIt’s what we all needComing together keep us believingAll around us at onceIt’s what we all needComing together

Losing yourself within the soundKnowing where to go and how to land

Wherever you are distractions remainInside and out holding you back againGather your hands for the start of something

All around us at onceIt’s what we all needComing together keep us believingAll around us at onceIt’s what we all needComing together

We know, we know , we know this tune so wellSomething old but new againYeah we know, yeah we knowWe know, we know , we know this tune so wellSomething old but new againYeah we know, yeah we know

Wherever you are distractions remainInside and out holding you back againGather your hands for the start of something

All around us at onceIt’s what we all needComing together keep us believingAll around us at onceIt’s what we all needComing together

Gather your hands and put them togetherShow the rest of the world thatShow the rest of the world that we can be in time

Into the Fire

Written By: Brad Gandy & Kieran Slayer

INTO THE FIRE

Into the fire - we walk hand in handNo one can save us - save us from this

We both watch as it all comes downInto broken pieces that lay on the ground

I want to say - things I’ve left unsaidI’m going to trust - you will understand

We both know there’s no stopping nowNo chance of surrender this fate is oursInto the fireInto the fire

Into the fire - only a life time awayWhen these flames circle – no one on this earth is safe Into the fireInto the fire

Holding our heads up highStay strong fight that good fight

Into the fireInto the fire

Into the fire - only a life time awayWhen these flames circle - no one on this earth is safeInto the fire - only a life time awayWhen these flames circle - no one on this earth is safeInto the fireInto the fireInto the fireInto the fire

Into the fire - hand in handNo one can save us - save us from this

Time On Your Clock

Written By: Brad Gandy & Kieran Slayer

TIME ON YOUR CLOCK

There still time on your clockThe moment has gone you must move onYou must move

There’s no shelter overhead planes race to their deathWhen they come crashing downEverything comes down

Let’s watch the people walking about talking to each other not saying a word out loud

Who do you want to be? Make the time for itDon’t let it go under groundWho do you want to be?

There’s still time on your clockBut I know it’s ticking downThere’s still time to unlock The meaning of this life

Talking to yourself making complete senseLaugh at yourself while everybody is left with the debt There’s so much left

Surrender to the void and the voices insideLook around count the steps you’re lucky to be, lucky to be alive

Who do you want to be? Make some time for itDon’t let it go under groundWho do you want to be?

There’s still time on your clockBut I know it’s ticking downThere’s still time to unlock The meaning of this life

Don’t stand around watching clocks tick down on youLike it does on all of us - Time on your clockDon’t stand around watching clocks tick down on youLike it does on all of us - Time on your clock

There’s still time on your clockBut I know it’s ticking downThere’s still time to unlock The meaning of

This life is all we haveSo don’t let it slip awayTime on your clockThis life is all we haveSo don’t let it slip awayTime on your clockTime on your clockThis life is all we haveDon’t let it slip away - Time on your clock – this life is all we have

Blood Lines

Written By: Brad Gandy & Kieran Slayer

BLOOD LINES

I can see a red light, sunset going downI’m in a small boat, slowly drifting outI felt the sun rays, burning up my skinOn a dark wide ocean, where I begin

I feel the blood linesPumping through my life Watching the sand move under my feet We forget the good timesFocus on the low lights dragging us down the bottom of the sea

I’m walking a tight ropeNot as easy as it seemsFiltering the day lightMaking something of my dreams

I feel the blood linesPumping through my life Watching the sand move under my feet We forget the good timesFocus on the low lights dragging us down the bottom of the sea

We’re all shore lines making our way out to seaLife like a light house not know what it all means

So close, so close, so close, I can feel itSo close, so close, so close, I can reach itSo close, so close, so close, I can feel itSo close, so close, so close, I can reach it

Hoping for a king tideA connection that completesRising from the surfaceUp from underneath

I feel the blood linesPumping through my life Watching the sand move under my feet We forget the good timesFocus on the low lights dragging us down the bottom of the sea

We’re all shore lines making our way out to seaLife like a light house not know what it all means

Watch for the aftermathBlood lines that take you backPulling you down and underneathWe should know more by now No time to figure outLines of blood are what we need
